It’s a similar issue IE has with most ETFs unfortunately.

It would be nice if they could be relied upon.

It’s not just IE , trading212 have the same problem with iShares & wisdomtree ETFs

Hi, thanks for flagging. It’s been forwarded to the relevant team to look into and we aim to have it rectified shortly. Please be sure to let us know if you find any others that aren’t reflecting correctly.

Hey Carl, we’re sorry to hear that. If you’re able to provide us with these ETFs, we’ll flag to our team to look into further. Look forward to hearing from you.

@DeeFunds I don’t think any of the ETFs are accurately reflected. The sectors that you use don’t follow the same framework as the ETF providers.

There are 11 different stock market sectors, according to the most commonly used classification system, known as the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).

  1. Energy
  2. Materials
  3. Industrials
  4. Utilities
  5. Healthcare
  6. Financials
  7. Consumer Discretionary
  8. Consumer Staples
  9. Information Technology
  10. Communication Services
  11. Real Estate

@Carl
However there is also ICB - used by FTSE

Thanks @Pinch. That’s useful to know and I do think further breaking down of the sectors is very useful.

But I think IE should reflect the sectors that are used by the major ETF providers, such as Vanguard and Invesco.

@Carl
Sure… and Vanguard UK uses ICB as stated on their website

But , in the end we need IE to say something about this - and for some reason they are keeping schtum. The 2 comments by @DeeFunds earlier weren’t addressing this either.
